How do I back up a +1GB dataset?

Hi @agustincabello ,

 

I am not sure what exactly you are trying.  This thread explain how to do backups (which you might exactly be doing):Backup and restore Power BI Premium datasets - Power BI | Microsoft Learn    BUT, there is a section with the considerations and limitations which mentions that you must access ADLS Gen 2 directly, are you allowing that?  There are other limits as well to confirm that you are doing well.

 

There is also an article by @GilbertQ here that might be helpful:  Steps on how I backed up my Power BI Premium Per User / Premium Database - FourMoo | Power BI | Data...
